Logging in from the Internet

(Note that everybody uses the extuser name at this stage--do not substitute your own user name.)

You should see a banner message and then a prompt:

extuser@OpenWrt:~$

Then type

./wake MACHINE_NAME

Once this tells you that you're good to go, you may SSH onward using your assigned user name. (It may yet take another minute until the machine is fully up and responding to SSH.)

For example:

ssh MYUSERNAME@box

More than likely, this won't work, because we won't have told you your password (with the intention that you'll just use your SSH key). To make login work, copy the following snippet into your $HOME/.ssh/config:

Total AC current draw (outlet 1-8 & 9-16):
2.90 & 0.18 Amps. Max detected 3.72 & 0.21 Amps.
Power reboot duration: 5 seconds.
***Type "pTmShow" to view outlet Timer parameters.

For example, we see that "box" is plugged into outlet# 8. To power cycle box, type pset 8 0. You can confirm that the corresponding outlet is off with pshow. Next, you can turn the outlet on again by saying pset 8 1. All the connected machines are set up so that they will automatically boot up after a power cycle. To return to haamster, type logout.

The telnet server built into the power strip is pretty dumb. It doesn't like Backspace, for instance. Don't be surprised if you manage to confuse it. When in doubt, log out and start over.
